I just called the feed store today who were supposed to order my chicks and have them ready for me when I got back from my cruise. I guess they tried to get a hold of me while I was gone to confirm my order. They didn't want to order the chicks without confirming that I wanted to pay extra to guarantee that they all were female. Only 30 cents a piece more and they couldn't just go ahead and do it. Now I have to wait two more weeks. UGH! It's only $3 more than what we originally planned! Oh well.
The brooder is ready...I even warmed it up last night to be sure it was all set. And I just got a call about someone's shed they want to donate to me. Have you heard of freecycle.org? It's this great site about passing on stuff you don't need to people who can use it. Like a classified ad but all free. I posted a request for an outbuilding or leftover building supplies and someone is letting me have a shed. CHICKEN COOP IS ON THE WAY!

Bummer about having to wait another 2 weeks! :( I was hoping you'd get them today.
Freecycle.com is really cool. My roommates and I have gotten stuff off of there before. It's a great idea.
That is such a HUGE bummer! My girls are just as disappointed as you. Cool about the shed, tho! I need to come over and see your setup.
It'll go by fast! Maybe the shed will arrive and you can have fun fixing it up :-)
Your picture is awesome!
oh my Lisa - I was just reading Heather's blog and just clicked on your name and found this chicken-stuff. You wouldn't believe it but me and my kids were talking just about an hour ago about raising chickens!! My husband had them when he was little I guess. I'm going to read your older posts now!
